Which planet rotates around the sun on its side instead of spining?

Well they all spin, but Uranus has a tilt to its axis of rotation of about 89° so you might say that at times it appears to be rolling and not spinning.


Why does Venus rotate clockwise while other planets rotate anticlockwise?

Scientists think that a collision with another proto-planet occurred shortly after the planet Venus formed. The collision stopped its counterclockwise spin and left it with a very slow rotation in the clockwise direction (as seen from the north, i.e. above the ecliptic plane.All of the other major planets still spin in their original direction. However, the planet Uranus evidently had a similar incident, one that tipped it over onto its side by more than 90° relative to its orbital plane. It now appears to "roll" rather than rotate, and seen from above the spin appears slightly clockwise.


Why water spins into the drainage?

Gravitational pull causes the vortex depending on which side of the planet your on which way the vortex will spin


What is the spin of a planet or moon as seen from above a planets pole?

The spin of a planet or moon, when observed from above its pole, appears as a rotation around its axis. This rotation can be clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on the orientation of the axis relative to its orbit. For instance, Earth rotates counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole. The spin direction is an important characteristic, as it influences the planet's weather patterns and day-night cycle.


What is earth spin?

The rotation of the planet on its axis of spin. The spin is responsible for the day and the night.


Is it cold or hot on the planet Mercury?

sense it does not spin on it's axis its both hot and cold. the side facing the sun is hot and the side away is relatively cold


Do planet spin at the same speed?

no


Does Uranus rotate clockwise or counter clockwise?

Uranus rotates on its side, so it appears to rotate in a clockwise direction when viewed from above its north pole. This unique tilt is believed to have been caused by a collision with a planet-sized body early in its history.


What is the turning of a planet of a planet on its axis?

This is called "rotation" or "spin".


Which planet seems to roll rather than spin along its orbit?

Venus is the planet that appears to roll rather than spin along its orbit. It has a retrograde rotation, meaning it rotates clockwise on its axis as seen from above its north pole. This causes the sun to rise in the west and set in the east on Venus.
